After the update on March 2, the game won’t boot with MSI Afterburner on (crashes a few seconds after opening the game). Given the popularity of MSI Afterburner among PC gamers, please fix this issue. It also happened to several gamers on Reddit (some suggest rivatuner is the problem). Many thanks.
MSI Afterburner is one of the third party software applications listed in the My Game is Not Launching or is Crashing on PC article at Forza Support.

I used to be able to play FH5 with Afterburner and Riva running, but now I have to close both. Anyone else experiencing this? Is there a work around?

Since when was this an issue? I’m pretty sure I was playing FH5 less than a month ago with both Afterburner and Riva running with no issues.
